I've been looking at various options for getting rid of QtWebEngine, and had an idea that maybe we don't actually need any C++ code at all. Attached is a rough PoC patch that implements such a setup. If running with SERVER_MODE == True, things are as they are now, however, if SERVER_MODE == False then: - We enable key generation for client validation. - A thread is started to monitor the server for startup completion. - Once the server is responding, a browser is launched using selenium and pointed at the server. - The thread continues running, periodically checking the browser is still present. If not, it kills the server. Downsides: - The user knows they're running in the browser - chromedriver/geckodriver are required (geckodriver's licence may be an issue) - The user must have a supported browser installed. Questions: - Maybe we could ship a pre-built minimal browser (one that is fast and works well and always use that? - If we do that, then maybe we can use whatever mechanism selenium uses to tell the browser where to navigate, as it doesn't seem to use the command line (thus, keeping the key hidden).
